Taps are used to cut screw threads on the inside surfaces of holes, creating the female half (nut) of the screw. High precision is of vital importance, particularly in areas such as automobile engines, which require precision screws. OSG offers a lineup of taps with diameters in various sizes and with specifications suitable for a wide variety of uses.
- Spiral point taps push chips forward
- HSS-E material increased wear-resistance
- Steam oxide surface treatment increases mechanical lubricity
- OSG V-coating increased hardness, lubricity and wear-resistance
- TiN coating increased wear-resistance
